Shelf-Life Testing
Ensure the longevity, safety, and quality of your food products with comprehensive shelf-life testing. Understanding how your products change over time is crucial for optimizing storage conditions, reducing waste, and ensuring compliance with labelling regulations. At AML, our shelf-life testing evaluates microbial stability, chemical composition, and sensory characteristics to determine how long your products remain safe and of high quality. By identifying potential spoilage risks and degradation factors, we help businesses make informed decisions about product formulation, packaging, and storage, ultimately enhancing consumer satisfaction and brand reliability.
Tests include:
- Microbial shelf-life evaluation: Assessing how long products remain free from microbial contamination.
- Spoilage risk assessment: Identifying potential spoilage organisms to reduce the risk of product degradation and spoilage.
Frequently asked questions
Shelf-life is assessed through microbial stability testing, spoilage risk evaluation, and environmental condition analysis to determine how long a product remains safe and high quality under normal storage conditions.
Shelf-life testing helps manufacturers comply with food safety regulations, optimize packaging and storage, reduce waste, and ensure product quality and consumer satisfaction.
Several factors impact shelf-life, including ingredient composition, microbial contamination, storage conditions (temperature, humidity), and packaging materials used.
